When a Triggered Response is activated the transceiver will: Repeat four quick beeps (or vibrate) for 15 seconds. The full trigger alert icon (28) will turn on for 15 seconds The zone icons will turn on and remain on until a transceiver button is pressed, clearing the page alert.
Disarming while driving Press on the transceiver or simply turn off the ignition to disarm the system. The lights will flash twice, the doors will unlock, the siren will chirp twice, and the status LED will turn off. The transceiver will beep twice (or vibrate). The disarm icon (29) will be displayed on the LCD.
Press a fourth time within five seconds: The siren chirps four times followed by a long chirp. Zones 2 and 4 are now bypassed. Press a fifth time within five seconds: The siren chirps five times followed by a long chirp. All input zones, except the ignition, are now bypassed.
high security disarm This security system offers High Security Disarm. High Security Disarm is a feature that makes it possible to silence and reset the system while it is triggered, without disarming the system. If the system is triggered and the siren has been sounding for longer than six seconds, press any button on the transceiver to stop the page, then press on the transceiver to stop the trigger and...
To disarm the security system, turn the ignition to the ON posi- tion. Press the Valet button the preset number of times (one to five times) within five seconds. The factory preset is one. After five seconds, the system will disarm. If the system does not disarm, you may have waited too long;...
note: The Warn Away response to lighter impacts is ® bypassed if the system is armed using Silent Mode. This ensures that no chirps will be emitted by the siren in an area you want chirp-free. The system is still fully capable of triggering.

To enter or exit Valet mode: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Turn the ignition off. 3. Press and release the Valet switch within 10 seconds. The status LED will light solidly if you are entering Valet mode, and it will go out if you are exiting Valet mode. The transceiver will not generate a page notification when entering or exiting Valet mode using the Valet switch.
remote start This feature allows you to remotely start and run your vehicle for a programmable period of time. This makes it possible to warm up the engine, as well as adjust the interior temperature of the vehicle with the climate control system. If interior heating or cooling is desired, the climate controls must be preset, and the fan blower must be set to the desired level prior to remote starting the vehicle.

5. Once the vehicle has started, it will run for the pre-program- med period of time (either 12, 24, or 60 minutes - see Programming Options section of this guide) or until a shut- down input is triggered. When using the Directed Bitwriter, the run time can be programmed from 1-60 minutes.
Transceiver buttons the vehicle. The transceiver will generate a page notification with a unique melody (or vibrate) and the remote start icon (19) will turn off when the remote start shuts down. valet take-over The Valet ® Take-Over feature allows the vehicle to remain running after the key has been removed from the ignition.

s s a a f f e e t t y y f f e e a a t t u u r r e e s s This system has several important safety features to ensure proper operation of the motor and prevent accidental damage to the engine or its components.
over and under rev protection The system monitors the engine speed and will automatically shut the engine off if the RPMs rise above or fall below the programmed levels. This feature prevents damage to the motor due to fuel delivery system failures or other problems which may cause the engine to race.

In either case, the status LED and trans- ceiver LCD will indicate which zone was triggered (see Table of Zones section). The security system will retain this information in its memory and chirp four or five times each time it is dis- armed, until the next time that the ignition is turned on.
